Jesus Jones - Welcome Back Victoria - High Quality

[@jas.l]

This song reminds me nice old days! I miss my friends.

[@RBKeown]

Love this record. Favorite song off it.

[@jimbobboing6527]

Heard of jesus jones when I was 13 and now 39 I'm still listening to them

[@TheLozerella]

Jim Bob Boing ...me too

[@azgravers67]

@FilthyBroke Recordings Also 43. This is still a banger of the highest order.

[@billymkirkwood4956]

Between indie and early acid house warehouse parties... one of the best chilled out indie tracks ever! ❤

[@Sacha1967]

I don’t really give a stuff about what the song is about, but the music and the vocals and that very ghostly synth have been part of the wallpaper of my mind since I first heard it. Truly wonderful

[@billymkirkwood4956]

That makes no sense at all?! The music the vocals everything... this is a a great track, one of the best by these guys! Back in the very, very early 90's 👌👍

[@neilfleck4178]

I like a similar one- misery loves co.'happy'

[@jonrock6199]

Found the cassette someplace when 17. Went to prison for many many years. Got out and bought smart phone. Gotta love youtube and the window it provides for retrospective melancholy. I miss the 90's. Jonrock1977

Actually I do understand the true meaning of the song, I made these videos to represent the feeling they gave me when I first listened to them... nearly 30 years ago when I was merely a teenager...

​​@@dakrowwYour interpretation of what the song is about is not necessarily the song's meaning. Unless you know Mike Edwards personally...

[@adriankelly483]

This brings back memories of the baggy Indie and Rave days. Brilliant days Northside to The stone roses and candy flip and Inspirals.

[@danpitts152]

More relevant than ever.

[@sheridavidsonhundley7079]

Wish they still toured, awesome song.

[@Robinssoncravents]

they are touring and working in a new album

[@zacanowski]

Fantastic, timely and important song, and fantastic pictures, thank you Don!

[@dakroww]

You are welcome sir...

[@leeweston9519]

I think you've all missed the message of the song. Its about the late Margret Thatcher and her ideals of a new Victorian culture in a modern age.

[@GEricG]

Lee Weston I've listened to those lyrics so many times and it's only just clicked!

[@tristanyoung4161]

Jesus jones support Maggie 😆😆😆

Thatcher was elected because government had such a stranglehold over the economy that nothing worked by the late 1970s. That's why the winter of discontent happened. The Thatcher government freed up the markets and things worked again. When government runs the economy people are impoverished.

[@FINNSTIGAT0R]

@@Anon54387 and when the government takas a total hands off approach very bad things happen too - From the UK a good example is the Irish potato famine, which the government could've, if it really wanted, made much much easier on the people who instead died of starvation because the government at the time had a laissez faire approach to the economy. "The markets will solve such problems". Well, they kinda did, through unnecessary suffering of people who already had a very poor life full of hardship. It's about finding the right balance between two tyrannies - the tyranny of the government or the markets. The more things are taken into either direction, the more ordinary people suffer.

[@ciaranjefferies]

Hell yes.. My first album purchase was this cassette at John Menzies in Helston, Cornwall. Jesus I am old. Tune stands the test of time though TBH.

Hi from the UK in 2021 and *sigh*

[@nickalkire1187]

Reminds me of the song Dear God by XTC!!

[@raulvargasmusica4401]

the best ALBUM

[@ciaranjefferies]

Nice! Quality tune.

[@boomermalkav]

Love this song

[@pshowisitto]

Very “Dear Goddy”

[@pshowisitto]

“Dear God” this song is good

[@roshimocolon]

great song! kinda loosely reminds me of Dear God by XTC.

[@timetravellerregisteredtra850]

and they nicked a chord or two from The Cult as well. no harm no foul :)

[@nmacog]

did anyone spot the CULT - She Sells Sanctuary guitar "shimmer" sample at the beginning ?

[@zombienomicon9682]

yup

[@shugshooter]

Thanks for uploading ;)

[@DavobarX]

Could always hear a The The influence on this..

[@Gagetwzrd]

This song released in 1990. It is a "sounding" against social conformity or freedom of expression. Investigate socialism in it's entirety: Spain 1930s, Germany 1920s. Russia and Eastern Europe. Investigate the culture of 1890 London....

[@FINNSTIGAT0R]

Actually it's not about that at all, it's a UK specific song about the rise of new conservatism in the spirit of the Victorian era, but I'm not going to say people can't attach their own meanings to it.

[@RayCee]

How odd that I remember the song and not the boyfriend who introduced me to it so many years ago!

[@thohangst]

It sounds like you remember the boyfriend to be honest.

@Saphire Ouch, poor guy. Great song though!

[@patrickcoyle6831]

Chords anyone ???

[@LeatherCladVegan]

No thanks, I'm good.

[@FINNSTIGAT0R]

It's blatantly obvious the uploader has absolutely no clue of the subtext of this song.
